"new york times." democracy returns to the senate. what a different point of view we got here. two papers, two different points of view. the rule change does not end the 60 vote threshold for blocking legislation which we have argued is worth preserving. but the vote may lead to broader filibuster changes. a proposal by several younger democratic senators to require talking filibusters, forcing lawmakers to stand up at length and make their cases may well gain steam now and could it finally spell an to end log jams that prevented important legislation from reaching votes. democrats made the filibuster change with a simple majority vote which republicans insisted was a violation of the rules. there is ample precedent for this kind of change
obama care would never have passed if mr. franken hadn't stolen the minnesota recount and prosecutors hadn't hidden evidence to convict alaska republican ted stevens on false thick ethics charges. but liberals are showing that they will only need 51 votes not 60 to pass the next obama care.

how does this change the presidency of president obama? >> first of all, it makes him look like an activist. he's not passively dealing with a house and senate that is not passing his legislation, but it actually puts him at a tradition, because 1917, woodrow wilson was about to become a wartime president. he did not look with great favor on the idea of having to deal with senate filibusters while trying to conduct that war. he referred to the filibuster as a little group of willful men who render the united states government helpless and contemptible, a phrase that probably could be used nowadays. so what did wilson do? went to the leaders o. senate and said, this really can't happen. why don't we find a way of shutting down filibusters. that's when they came up with cloture. the idea that if you had two-thirds, you could stop a filibuster end and the debate. even then, that had not been there before. >> so the evolution of rules, there's been negotiation led by presidents on this fact. >> absolutely. and the nuclear option, which is a te
